Services
Surgery
Our surgical services range from routine procedures to complex orthopedic surgeries. We prioritize same-day discharge when possible using light sedation techniques. For major surgeries requiring general anesthesia, we employ continuous monitoring of vital signs to ensure patient safety. Our surgical expertise includes stem cell therapy and cruciate ligament repairs, with post-operative care that includes twice-daily updates and follow-up support.
Dental Care
We offer comprehensive dental services addressing periodontal disease and oral health issues. Our approach minimizes anesthesia risks through light sedation options while maintaining thorough cleaning and treatment protocols. The clinic emphasizes early detection of dental problems through regular exams, recognizing that pets often hide dental pain due to instinctive behaviors developed in the wild.
Stem Cell Therapy
Since 2011, we've successfully treated orthopedic conditions using stem cell and platelet-rich plasma therapy. This minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery offers faster recovery times for conditions like cruciate ligament tears. Our experience shows this treatment provides comparable outcomes to surgical options while reducing patient discomfort and recovery duration.
Laser Therapy
We utilize Class IV laser technology to treat chronic pain and post-surgical recovery. This non-invasive treatment accelerates healing by enhancing cellular energy production and circulation. The therapy effectively addresses conditions like arthritis, joint pain, and soft tissue injuries through targeted light energy applications that reduce inflammation and promote tissue regeneration.
Underwater Treadmill
Our Oasis Underwater Treadmill provides controlled rehabilitation for pets with joint and muscle conditions. The buoyancy reduces joint stress while warm water promotes muscle relaxation. Customizable speed and incline settings allow tailored rehabilitation programs that strengthen muscles and improve mobility for animals recovering from injury or surgery.
